One thing we all have to remember, no matter what our passion as IT specialists, is what we are doing this for. We have jobs to allow people to do their work more effectively. This is what matters to the end users, from the CEO to the lowest person on the org chart. They don't want another security program slowing them down as they are trying to complete their financial forecasts for the 3:00 meeting. They don't want to be told that they can't visit a site with information they need for their marketing pitch because someone decided some of the words on the site were banned. They don't want to have to wait for the "Genius" to show up next week to install a program they need to be more productive.
We have all watched as the bad guys have attacked our systems and constantly see new security issues. Our job is to stop these things without interfering with the real reason for the computer, to get the work done.
Microsoft understands that as important as security is, the people that run the average business are more concerned with being able to work on the project from anywhere in the world and at any time. To become more productive.
Let's keep our jobs in perspective. Why do people like Macs? Because they are easy. Why do people love PCs? Because they make their jobs more productive. Why are people using smartphones? Because they can communicate with anyone, anywhere, with whatever method they prefer. Remember the big picture.
